Participating Countries South Sudan and Uganda
Objectives The overall objective of the study is to explore options of building electricity transmission lines of acceptable standards between South Sudan and Uganda with the aim of obtaining the following specific benefits:• To promote power system stability in the countries concerned;• To promote energy connectivity among the countries by assisting them to integrate their re-
spective networks and thereby develop ability for building larger power projects to meet larger regional markets;
• To develop ability to negotiate better terms for procurement of power equipment and technical assistance;
• To reduce the cost of power in South Sudan and Uganda;• In the long term complete integration of the power systems in South Sudan and Uganda; and• To create productive employment and economic development across the borders.
The main objective of the project include provision of transmission capacity of 200 MW to cater for grid interconnection between South Sudan and Uganda, provision of transmission infrastructure to cater for future grid interconnections to the Nile downstream countries, promotion of regional cooperation through sharing of power generation resources and facilitation of rural electrification and improve the standards of living for the population in project area
Project Description The project is located in the Northern Region of Uganda and southern Region of Sudan traversing a total distance of 360 km from the proposed new Karuma Hydro Power Plant through Nimule to Juba. The project consists in construction of 220 kV double circuit transmission line from Karuma HPP via Nimule (Uganda) to Juba (South Sudan) and related substations.
Expected Results Reliable electricity services as well as reduced average energy production costs, improved utilization of hydroelectric and thermal energy within the region. Reduced investment cost due to improved energy utilization and improved economies of scale
Sources of Financing The African development Bank (AfDB) have shown interest to secure funds for the feasibility stud-ies
On-going Related Activities in Tripartite Region (COMESA-EAC-SADC)Many electric power interconnectors will be operational between 2011 and 2016 such as:• Uganda – Rwanda Commissioning 2013;• Rwanda – Burundi Commissioning 2013;• Burundi – DR Congo Commissioning 2013;• Ethiopia – Kenya Commissioning 2016.

Sub-SectorForestry
ForestryThe National Forestry Policy (1996) and the Forestry Act (1997) encourage investors to invest in forestry-related products. They are the key instruments driving the development and manage-ment of forests and forest-derived products in the country. Malawi’s large forest plantations are Viphya Plateau (Lusangazi, Chikangawa) Nyika Plateau at Chelinda, Dedza, Mulanje mountains and Zomba Plateau.
Investment Opportunities • Value addition to the country’s vast forest resources via the manufacturing of timber and tim-
ber-based products such as blackboards, cheap boards, plywood etc.;• Replanting of the forest;• Possible concession of the forest areas;• Log and logging supply agreements for harvesting and cutting of existing timber.
